Kingston KC2500 NVMe SSD 1TB Review


The official 4K random read performance figure for the 1TB KC2500 is up to 375,000 IOPS. Although we didn't hit the maximum figure with our 4-threaded testing, our result figure of 317,465 IOPS is pretty close.  We did a quick test at a QD of 32 using 8 threads to see what the drive could do and got a result of 402,588 IOPS.

4K Random Read v QD Performance Compared


At a QD of 1, where much of the everyday workloads occur, the KC2500 performs well. But as the QD deepens the drive falls back from a lot of the competition.
